1. We are working on upgrading the server's code. This is being delayed, because first we have to create a Debian package from the source.

2. Longer term aims: it seems that the application is not doing well with WUs containing only 1 matrix, which is more likely to be the case with higher dimensions. This generates all the problem, rendering the application not to be user friendly. However, the research is very promising as our mathematician colleagues say, so we are thinking about continuing this application in a private manner, with less computers and longer run times...
Meanwhile, we are seeking new applications in Hungary - that would be more user friendly - to be run on SZTAKI Desktop Grid. So, if you stay with us and continue work, the reward will be a new user-friendlier application run on SZDG.

SZTAKI Desktop Grid Research Facility (SZDGR) is going to test a new
application in the physics field. Please check that your BOINC client
is properly configured to receive workunits from SZDGR.

The name of the application to be tested is "Universality Classes
Explorer" (uc-explorer). The client application is already available
for the i686-pc-linux and the windows_intelx86 platforms. A mac client
will also be available soon.

The runtime of the first workunits is estimated to be less than one
day, but it is also the aim of this test to tune the running time of
the application that suits most user preferences. Please monitor your
client and abort any workunit exceeding a 24 hour running time.

Also please report anything to the mailing-list (szdgr@lpds.sztaki.hu)
that you think can help in making the application better.

Processing of the 13th dimension with a constant element of three is coming to an end, the final workunits have been already sent out. Thank you for all supporters for this pleasant Christmas gift. As a reward, we have begun to serve the workunits of the 13th dimension with a constant element of two. These workunits are shorter and make a great opportunity for some quick credit hunting. The credit entry of the previous message has not been forgot and will be administered soon.

SZDGR project is closed
Dec 15, 2010, 11:30 GMT
The SZDGR (SZDG Research Facility project will be closed. We want to thank the help of the participants! The project will reopen later, we will let you know the details.

April 03, 2018, 15:30 CET Project closes on May 31
SZTAKI Desktop Grid is going to close down officially on May 31. We will try to keep the server open as long as possible afterwards if needed, so all in-progress work units can be finished. Next, the project home page will be replaced by a static site containing the description and results for the applications of the project, and will be updated when we get new results from the scientists. We would like to thank you for your support and dedication for SZDG throughout the years!
